Hi!

I don't think we can disable this option... If I recall correctly the thought process is that some devices just don't have microphone, so there should be a valid options to select.

From the screenshots I assume you are already passing "userdata-bbb_listen_only_mode=false" on JOIN (or "listenOnlyMode: true" in settings.yml/bbb-html5.yml). That should hide the offer for listen only and make it visible only in this dropdown.

Just wondering what use case you are trying to accommodate for?

Thanks Anton for the answer! This is for students simulating microphone connection.
Yes, I am already passing "userdata-bbb_listen_only_mode=false"
